Cattleman's Gun
作詞:Dean Mc Whinnie
He rode into town one dust storm Sheepskin cloak across his back A preacher man with kind old eyes And a mystery for a past
He said he'd come to teach About the love of God But he soon learned what they were missing there Was justice and the law
There was a cattleman who claimed his clan Owned all the land around And any brave fool that might dispute He was quick to snuff 'em out
He'd say, 'Take my heed And you won't pay the price 'Cause honor and a name ain't worth a damn If you don't have your life'
He'd say, 'Ain't nobody faster than this cattleman's gun I'm a rattlesnake on the trigger Your last stand will be lyin' in the sand Fallin' to the slam of my hammer'
So one man taught forgiveness While the other taught suffering Preacher said deliverance Could be found out on their knees
He said, 'I know you want justice And you want blood But believe me when I say to you Don't try and be that man's judge'

One day a young farmer Brought his sons to town for feed And noticed that the streets were quiet And he knew what that might mean
The smoke rose in the distance His farm burned to the ground He let the fury overtake him When cattleman came back to town
Those boys ran out from behind the crowd And watched their daddy die The big man laughed and said, 'Now look at that Anybody else wanna give it a try?'
Well, the church doors opened with that black cloak Flowin' behind the preacher's fiery eyes He said, 'Your ticket to hell is a comin' to you And I got a hollow-point to give you the ride'
And the only thing faster than the cattleman's gun Was the preacher man's handy finger He pulled iron from his side and let that bullet fly Beat the rattlesnake to the hammer
While the preacher embraced forgiveness Oh, they finally understood Under that sheepskin cloak of his Was a history of blood
